Arrived today - ROO 26420IO

Sep 25, 2021,10:15 AM
 

This is a familiar colour-way in 44mm for many years. And for some reasons, I never pulled the trigger until today.

Admittedly, this is my first AP ROO as I have always preferred the smaller sized Royal Oaks and also, I was holding out for the integrated Chronograph movement to be available on the Offshores.

Here it is and thanks for looking.





And look at the Rotor !!!



The polished grey ceramics result in layers on the bezel.

Congratulations. If I were to get an ROO it would definitely be one with a ceramic bezel. All the best Jon

Wow, cool!

I have the 44mm in this color way and wonder whether i’d prefer the 43mm if i had to make choice. I particularly like mine on the deep blue strap that matches the subdials.

Thanks ArmisE!

It comes with an extra set of blue straps; will try it on tomorrow. You are right. The blue accent will work well with blue straps.

Interesting…

Is the bezel actually textured with a diamond lathe or polished and if so with what? Ceramic because of its extreme hardness is very difficult to work with. Omega actually uses a diamond lathe to texture their cases but if this bezel is polished the resul... 

Thanks Myles721.

Will definitely research into it; only noticed it when I came home and had more time to scrutinise the watch πŸ˜€. It adds a level of detail which I find captivating.

Yes…it’s my only beef with Hublot

The cases always look like plastic because there is no texturing at all.

Thanks you sir! πŸ™

I have worn Offshores 20 years, and find myself wonderfully impressed!

Thanks Michael. I am smitten!

Very impressed indeed with this generation of ROO; wear yours in good health… the fume brown is stunning.

That is exactly how it should be on your first Offshore!!
